That could be right. I don't know what kind of tolerance AR bearings were specified at or if they used high viscosity lube. Did you try neat STP? That would certainly help take up slack and do no harm as long as there are no speed issues.Originally Posted by jamie123

well i reckon if he says it is then it must be,no ive not tried the stp neat,the 1.8 parts ratio seems fine.
trouble is ive got that nagging doubt in my mind,logic tells me there has to be play its just how much,theres a second hand hifi shop in town that has an ar for sale i might just go in and ask if i can measure the spindle/sleeve for peace of mind.

If you say that they'll probably tell you to clear off. just go in and ask to look at it. Then wobble the platter to see if there's slack. By the way, your AR should only display slack whilst the bearing is dry (cleaned out). If it's slack when lubricated, you either have too low a viscosity oil or the bearing is knackered.

Not ebay but Technics SL1700 looks a reasonable price at £84 delivered if it works properly and you trust their packing. No dustcover by the look of it.

Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?
“Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".
“You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”
"You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”
“There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”
